JDSU to Introduce New 4G/LTE Test Innovations at Mobile World Congress

Launch of LTE/4G Service Assurance Solution Ensures Mobile Data Service Quality


MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwire - February 11, 2011) - The introduction of accessLTE™, a new service assurance solution supporting mobile service quality, is among the mobile test innovations JDSU (NASDAQ: JDSU) (TSX: JDU) will have on display at Mobile World Congress next week in Barcelona, Hall 1.0, Stand 1A03, February 14-17, 2011. 

JDSU's accessLTE brings critical service assurance applications for LTE/4G, including rigorous 4G session trace, a process that diagnoses, analyzes and correlates essential mobile subscriber services and performance data. This capability dramatically improves network performance, increases operational efficiency, reduces repair time, and pinpoints mobile network and service-affecting issues to minimize outages and their impact.

"With a sharp rise in mobile devices, network complexity and the immense appetite for high-bandwidth mobile video services, JDSU continues to deliver innovative test solutions for mobile service providers to deliver the highest level of service," said Tom Smith, senior vice president in JDSU's Communications Test and Measurement business segment "We are proud to showcase the latest of our mobile solutions, including the introduction of a cutting-edge service assurance tool, on the global stage of Mobile World Congress."
